About Château Croque Michotte 2018
Bottle (75cl)

Château Croque Michotte has the particularity of being located on the border between Saint-Emilion and Pomerol.
Its 14 hectare vineyard benefits from a terroir of gravel and old sand on a clay subsoil. The vines planted there (74% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon) have an average age of 55 years and are grown in a traditional way, in compliance with organic farming standards. These traditional practices result in moderate yields and almost no use of fertilizers that do not distort the soil.
Winemaking and maturing are no exception to the rule: the wines mature slowly (20 months on average) in oak barrels and are never filtered or fined.

It is this quest for authenticity that characterizes Château Croque Michotte, and which is a guarantee of quality for a long-ageing wine.

Château Croque Michotte 2018 has a beautiful purple colour with garnet tints.
On the nose, it distills a bouquet of black fruits and small dried berries coated with woody cedar notes as well as exotic spices.
On the palate, Château Croque Michotte 2018 offers a full-bodied attack followed by a softer mid-palate. An abundance of juicy red and black fruits line the palate, supported by a velvety tannic line to finish with a charming and elegant finish.
